As Security Officers, we’re the first line of defense, but it’s time for our lawmakers to protect the protectors! We’re taking a #StandForSecurity to help raise industry standards so our workplaces and communities are safer. It’s time to pass SB1203! @seiuusww

Our cities run on the labor of janitors from all over the world! Our fight for workers' rights is a fight for immigrants' rights! Thousands of cleaners across the country are gearing up to fight for better working conditions, pay raises, and a secure retirement! #JusticeForJanitors

When we join together and win #UnionsForAll, we can secure fair contracts that guarantee pay increases so we aren’t forced to rely on the whims of corporate execs!
Also… record profits mean stolen wages 👀

💯!!! Corporations are making billions off our hard work while forcing taxpayers to subsidize their poverty wages! @Walmart employees work full-time yet still need programs to pay for food and other necessities! Walmart can and must pay us a living wage!

Happy Justice for Janitors Day from SEIU Local 1! Today, we honor the brave janitors who marched in Los Angeles on June 15, 1990, demanding respect and dignity. Janitors' courage sparked a movement that continues to empower workers across the country.

When HR says, “You don’t need a union, we’re family.” 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
One of the great things about organizing a union and winning a strong union contract is that you and your co-workers have stronger job protections! And those protections are in writing. #UnionsForAll

The South is beautiful, and we're trying to make it even better for the working people who make it what it is! @RaiseUptheSouth is demanding fairer pay, safer working conditions, and union rights for the workers who make delicious southern cuisine and ensure a great experience through southern hospitality!

The vibes are insane. Driving through the great state of Louisiana on our way to New Orleans. It’s crazy how diverse this country is, every day the scenery looks different.

Once again, take their free pizza AND STILL organize your union anyway! #UnionsForAll
When the HR Ladies hear you prefer a cash bonus instead of a pizza party

First, speaking truth to power is giving a damn, NOT complaining.
Second, union workers have been the backbone of America’s middle class, and yet for too long, their contributions have not been fully appreciated. Our unions fuel equality—increasing wages across ALL demographic groups.
Lastly, not only did workers build the middle class, but we're the ones STILL pushing back against guys like this who want to hollow it out.

Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants.
According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet:
“These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”

Thinkkkking that most people in America would prefer affordable healthcare, gas prices, and groceries. Just a thought! 🤔

It shouldn’t be this way and it doesn’t HAVE to be this way! The fastest way to build a future that actually works for people starts with investing in service workers.
Working people already know how to solve problems, care for our communities, train the next generation, and keep America running every single day.
If we want a stronger economy, safer communities, and a future where more people can thrive, working people need a seat at the table.
Build with us, NOT around us.
We said *cancel* medical debt not *create* medical debt.
ALT NYT Headline and Subheadline that reads: Can’t Pay Medical Bills? Trump Officials Suggest Getting a Loan. One-third of Americans shoulder health care debt. Insurers are being asked to consider lending money to Obamacare consumers who can’t afford higher deductibles.

When Trump and others within the regime spew this junk, we gotta BELIEVE THEM!

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.”
“If [gas prices] rise, they rise.”
"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation."
"I love the inflation."
Donald Trump really is a man of the people, isn't he?

Solidarity with healthcare workers at @SEIU_UHW who are demanding pay caps for medical executives and fighting to ensure community clinics spend the bulk of their revenues on patient care. It’s unconscionable that our hospitals often lack supplies and staffing levels that healthcare workers need in order to do their jobs effectively. It’s high time we reallocate money towards hiring more staff so we can provide better care to our patients! #CareIsEssential seiu.co/49Xoq7g

As inflation surged to the highest level since early 2023 causing many of us to struggle at the gas pump and grocery store checkout… just hours ago Pres. Trump told us “I love the inflation.”
This is the same guy that told us he doesn't think about our financial situation at all, by the way. 😡

Palantir is building a surveillance state around us, collecting our data, and collaborating with corporations and the government to use it against us. We MUST fight back. It is essential for our freedom at work and at home!

Even after bragging to the public at Summer Game Fest, where they showcased upcoming titles that their employees worked hard to deliver, corporations like @Ubisoft will sacrifice their workers at any sign of trouble. And worse, they attempted to shield that information from the public to shape their own narrative after devastating these working families. Video game workers, like all working people, must unite to defend our communities from mass layoffs and studio closures!

Earlier today, Insider Gaming received emails from several Ubisoft employees that two of its studios were shutting down and hundreds of employees would be affected. Subsequently, after corroborating said information, we ran with those stories.
This is normal journalism. It's a normal practice - you get news from sources, you corroborate, you try to get a comment from the company, and you publish.
After some of these stories went live, Ubisoft contacted us to say that the information was under an embargo (which IG never received), which, frankly, is weird but understandable, since employees should be told first by their employer. However, before each story went live, the affected teams were informed of the impacts, and that's how we found out; it just wasn't a company-wide announcement yet. Sure, there were probably a few people who were affected and didn't know about the layoffs/changes, but it has NEVER been the media's job to protect a company.
Developers find out about layoffs all the time via the media, and I even know of instances of journalists pursuing a story, texting/emailing developers BEFORE their dreaded all-hands meeting to say they would be laid off in a matter of hours. The fact is, it is shit to report on layoffs, but ultimately, it's a part of our job.
Am I glad we published articles on layoffs today? Hell no. But I am glad that we did what we were supposed to do.
Personally, I think as an industry, we're running into quite dangerous ground when we start abiding by embargoes about layoffs, but even more so when we publish the info like we learned info from sources rather than the company itself... But maybe that's just me.

Roughly 48% of Americans said their financial situation is worse, the highest share since January 2023. This is the culmination of #GreedyCEOs undermining working people. Workers are often the first to feel the impact when corporate decisions prioritize the bottom line over the people creating the value. seiu.co/4oo7fSf
